PRANZINI GUILLOTINED.
A DESPERATE FIGHT WITH THE
EXECUTIONERS.

Force of Numbers Makes His Struggle
Fruitless One - A Howling Mob
Almost Gets up Riot Outside the
ing Eis Innocence
PARIS, Aug. 3f.-Pranzini, the murderer
of Mme Regnault, her maid and maids
child, was guillotined at o'clock this morn
ing. He made no confession. Vast crowds
waited about tho place of execution during
the whole of the night, and kept up a con-
slant bowling and yelling. The din was
horrible. When the chaplain, who was TO
oliiciate at the execution, arrived at 4:30
o'clock, the mlss of people was so great
that hewa almost prevented from reaching
thegate of the prison. Pranzini marched from
his cell to the scaffold with firm step and
defiant air. When the executioneer seized
him, the murderer resisted and fought des-
perately, demanding that they let him
alone. The executioners overpowered him
and threw him upon the machine, and in an
instant had him securely bound. Imiae-
diately the terrible knife was started It
descended with horrible slowness at first,
but its movement quickened and sthe head
of the murderer rolled into the basket. The
mob outside became very disorderly during
the progress of the execution.
AWAKENED AT DAWN.
Pranzini was awakened out of a sound
sleep at 4.i5 o'clock by the jailers Fatter
Beaufuesne, chaplain of laRoquette, entered
the prisoners cell and exhorted him TO bs
courageous. Pranzini replied that be had
no fear but regretted that the only favor he
had asked, permission to see his mother, had
been refused. He reiterated his profession
of innocence and refused to make a confess
sion to the priest, saying: Father you do
your duty; will do mine.n Whilst being
dressed for the block, Pranzini de-
clared that he was glad that his
life was to be taken, as
he preferred death to penal servitude for
life He reproached Chief OF Police Taylor
for having called, as Prauzni alleged false
witnesses against him during his trial.
CALM IN DEATHS JAWS.
When he had beon conducted to the scaf-
fold he appeared to be quite calm, and dis
played considerable assurance. He kissed
the crucihx presented to him by the priest,
but ne refused to kiss the priest when the
latter proffered a farewell embrace Pran-
zini was at this moment skillfully grasped
and suddenly thrown upon the guillotine.
Its great knife fell, and the murderer's
head was severed from his body. The head
was at once placed in wagon and carried
at gallop to Ivory Cemetery, where it was
buried after regular funeral ceremony had
been performed over it. The faculty OF
medicine claimed the body and it was sur
rendered to them.

The boom has assumed a new character
and is beginning to acquire a different
phase from that which it presented for a
considerable time. While purchases and
sales are being made as frequently, per-
haps, as at any time since the present
activity began, the boom has now taken
the form of a strong and implicit conf
dence in the future of Cheyenne, which
is beginning to make itself felt in every
department of business in Cheyenne.
This is well. When the people of a
whole city become confident hat it is
going to prosper and grow, half of the
battle is already won. While this conf
dence and hopefulness does not manifest
itself by undue excitement, it is seen, felt
and realized by all who are keeping their
